Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Tortured Voice ❯ Chapter 1

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Tortured Voice

Every time I try to fly,

My dragon wings fail me,

So, I fall down to earth,

Forced to live in shadows.

Give me hard ground to stand,

Firmly above the wailing crowd.

Pain no longer touches me,

Too much dulled me to it all.

Broken by the will of others,

To the edge of despair I went.

Die I would before I tell,

Of terrible secrets within.

Not for anger do I wait,

Nor for forgiveness, I stay.

Ashes of stone, greyed,

So cold, made of frost.

Shine out from dank prison,

My own living ember.

You call, I answer,

Where they let us cry.

Lasting faith, my only hope,

Your final link, me in chains.

Why I don't crack,

Under the heavy strain.

Half given, half taken,

No one-sided war.

Til the blood runs clear,

Hearing tortured voices in dark.
